Jeremy London and his twin brother Jason London
were born in San Diego, California, but were raised in small towns in
both Texas and Oklahoma. Jeremy began acting on stage at the age of
seventeen, where he impressively portrayed the leading role in The Music
Man and fell in love with performing. Jeremy was the first of the two
to start auditioning and forced Jason to attend an audition with him and
it was Jason who ended up nabbing a role. A leading role The Man in the Moon (1991) starring Reese Witherspoon in her feature film debut. Jeremy went on to success of his own soon after starring along Sam Waterston in the dramatic series I'll Fly Away
(1991), which was a critically acclaimed series garnering an Emmy award
for Best Drama. Jeremy went to fame as not only a serious actor with an
undeniably bright future starring in other projects such as the cult
comedy Mallrats (1995) directed by Kevin Smith and even had a role in the popular nineties series Party of Five (1994) as the handsome Griffin Holbrook alongside Neve Campbell. Jeremy has proved a serious actor with the ability to take risks in such films as Gods and Generals
(2003) effortlessly stepping into the role of Civil War Captain Sandy
Pendleton, where he held his own alongside heavyweights such as Robert Duvall.
Jeremy hard hasn't gone unnoticed he has received three People's Choice
Awards, and three Telly awards for his directing debut of the
Documentary Secrets Through the Smoke

films in the future. Jeremy is also a proud father of his son Lyrik and
